Have issues with mobile data but will try some posting. Very hot here, first two days too hot, shock to system at 30s, even motorways just unpleasant. Interesting chaple yesterday though SW of Troyes

Pretty sure my data is too poor to share any tales until we're back, but a trial post of local riding wear. Wouldn't normally catch me dead w/o full kit, but as only going down to bottom of bloody great hill to do a virtual park run for our home club the risk assessment came out 'low'. I don't wear much more when cycle descending at higher speeds so not entirely mad!

Starting out homeward tomorrow, sadly, very impressed with MPG when pottering. Today saw over 210 miles with full bottom bar and flashing pump....was half flashing onuphills though! Good going.
